Pokeball Cookies

Just thought I would share a picture of the pokeball sugar cookies I made for my son's birthday. I used my mom's secret frosting recipe for the white and red frosting. The rest is fondant pieces that I cut out. It was one of those labor of love projects because it took forever to complete only a dozen cookies. Oh well, Collin sure enjoyed them!

Baby Shower Cookies

These are the cookie favor baskets I made for a friends baby shower.

I individually wrapped each in a cookie bag with a tiny baby favor and pink ribbon.

Everyone loved them although they said they were too cute to eat!

Whole Lotta V-Day Cookies

I just love Valentine cookies!!

Here's some examples of some we did this year.

Hearts To You!

So Anti-V-Day!

My hubby Eric is a long time Valentine hater so I decided to surprise him with an anti-valentine's day cookie bouquet.


Of course I had to have black hearts!

These cookies represent a heart gone bad, cupid with no head, and obviously a stupid cupid heart. Eric thought these were funny but there was a downside to my fun. Now Collin knows how to spell stupid. What's a mom to do?

I'm bananas 4 U!

This is my first ever cookie bouquet! Collin wanted to give something to his cousin Kaitlyn for Valentine's day so I thought, Perfect! I got a cookie bouquet guinea pig! I've been wanting to try to make one of these for awhile now. It was so much fun to put together.

Baking the cookies took a lot longer than I thought it would since I could only fit two cookies on each cookie sheet. These were big cookies!

I didn't have an actual monkey cookie cutter so I improvised. Using my bear cookie cutter I cut off his ears and placed them down lower. It actually worked out great. Icing these little guys was the best part. I just love cute little monkey faces!

This cookie on the other hand was a disaster. I got too lazy to make royal icing so I just used my regular icing. The tip was too big and the letters spread farther than I wanted but Kaitlyn loved it and that's all that mattered.

I had to test out the placement before putting it all together.

Here's the final result! It was a big hit. When I delivered it to the school the other kids wanted to know where thiers was. I learned a lot making this and hope to improve next time.

Valentine Cookies

Here's a pic of just a few quick cookies I made for my

brother. I'm going to be making a TON more this week!

Little Carlee decided she would try to make some too.

Then she just started eating the frosting right
out of the bowl! Good thing I was done with it!

This is Collin's favorite cookie that he iced.

Yummy!

We're going to make some hearts to put with

Collin's valentine's cards on Friday.

If I have time to get 'em done that is!

His second favorite cookie was the bear he

made on the top of this picture. He did pretty good!

Christmas Cookies

Here are a few samples of the cookies I made for

Collin's class Christmas party.

The kids loved 'em!

Don't eat my gumdrop buttons!

Thanksgiving Turkeys!

I finally ate my last Thanksgiving sugar cookie this weekend. I made probably 8 to 10 batches of these things. Ofcourse not all of them were very elaborate. Towards the end I just started slapping the frosting on there because I was so tired. These things take a LONG time to make.

I sent most of them to my three brothers. They love 'em as much as I do. We've been eating and decorating these cookies since we were young so they hold a special place in our tummies!

They were really yummy and now I can't wait to make Christmas cookies! A co-worker already wants to order some to take to her mom's Christmas party. Plus I always make some for the clinic employees that I work with every Christmas. I'm gonna be busy...

Wall E Cookies!

This weekend is my son's 5th birthday. He wants the whole Wall E theme so I decided to make cookies for the kids party. I thought these turned out pretty cute! I bought the icing decorations at Michael's and used my mom's favorite cookie glaze. I hope he likes them. (He wants to wait for his party to see them so he'll be suprised!)

They were a big hit!
